A thief who stole some money to be used for lottery tickets and a winning $50 ticket may have thought divine intervention would come into play as he took the Bible on compact disc from the unlocked car.

According to a Lee County Sheriff's Office report:

Diane D. Powell, 73, of Bonita Springs, told deputies that Wednesday night she and her husband returned home, went upstairs to their house and realized they had not locked the car. She leaned over the seventh floor balcony and used the key fob to lock the 2003 Mercedes, but could not see the car. The car does not honk when the key fob is used but the lights do flash. She did not see the light flash, but pushed the fob several times and thought the car locked.

The next afternoon she found the car had not locked and someone stole a few hundred dollars she was going to use to buy lottery tickets, a $50 winning ticket and the Bible on CD.
